I don't have a huge problem with individuals running license plate readers, since that is necessarily limited in scope. I meant that it's a bit of a dystopic view to assume that the government should be allowed to have their license plate readers and use them to accumulate massive databases that track the position of every car on every road.

For those who are unaware, individuals running license plate readers can be (and already are) paid to send their data to aggregators.
They already do. Warrentless access as well.
